Terms of Use

MixBar is licensed, not sold. Subject to these terms, the developer grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to download, install and use MixBar on Macs that you own or control, as distributed through the Mac App Store. You may not redistribute, sublicense, rent or lease the app.

• MixBar starts with a 7-day free trial (the “7-day Trial” in-app purchase item at price zero). During the trial, every feature is enabled.
• When the trial ends, per-app volume control stops working until the full unlock is purchased. Everything you configured — profiles, EQ curves, routing rules and other settings — is preserved and restored on purchase. Nothing is deleted.
• The trial is free. If you take no further action after it ends, no charge occurs: the unlock is a deliberate, separate purchase you initiate yourself.
• The trial start date is determined by Apple's signed purchase record on your device; it cannot be reset by reinstalling the app.

• The full unlock is a one-time purchase of $14.99 (or the equivalent in your local storefront). It is not a subscription: no recurring charge, nothing to cancel.
• The unlock is a non-consumable in-app purchase tied to your Apple Account — it applies on every Mac where you are signed in with that account, and it can be restored free of charge via the About tab in MixBar's settings.
• Introductory pricing may change after launch. Any change affects new purchases only; an unlock you already own is never charged again.
• Apple processes all payments. The developer never sees your payment details, and billing questions and refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

• You may not attempt to circumvent the trial period, the purchase mechanism or the App Store distribution of MixBar.
• You may not modify, reverse engineer or create derivative works of the app, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• You may not use MixBar to violate any law or third-party right — including as a tool to infringe rights in audio content that belongs to others.

MixBar is provided on an “as available” basis. It relies on public macOS audio interfaces, and future macOS updates can change how applications expose audio; the developer aims to keep the app compatible but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Warranty terms applicable to App Store apps, and limitations of liability, are governed by the Apple documents referenced in the introduction.

If something in the app misbehaves: email cardinalys81@gmail.com — bug reports are welcome and get priority.

The bundled headphone calibration catalog is derived from the open-source AutoEq project by Jaakko Pasanen, used under the MIT license; the license text is included inside the app. Application and device names that appear in the interface and on this site belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe compatibility and routing.

If these terms change, this page will be updated before the change takes effect and the effective date above will change. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
